Agudelo to undergo surgery, will miss six weeks

If the New York Red Bulls are going to build on their first win of this season in the coming weeks, they will have to do so without Juan Agudelo.

Agudelo is scheduled to undergo surgery in New York City on Monday to repair a torn medial meniscus in his left knee. Agudelo suffered the injury in the first half of the U.S. Under-23 men's national team's 6-0 victory over Cuba in the Americans' Olympic qualifying opener last Thursday.

The 19-year-old forward's expected recovery time is six weeks.

What do you think of Agudelo having knee surgery? How do you see him returning from the injury?

FFS, people, the US may not qualify and his injury will probably be a major reason why the US does not qualify (I realize he doesn’t play defense…). The Red Bulls, well, they’re not my concern at this point.

He will be back in two months if all goes well. I just did arthroscopic surgery for a torn medial meniscus and was playing in a little over two months and I’m a fat, out of shape 40 year old. Good luck Juan
